Franchising
Whether you’re franchising your business or becoming a franchisee, your interests must be protected. Finn Roache Lawyers has acted for large franchise chains and small clients alike, so we know what pitfalls to look out for and how to avoid them.

- Helping you to establish the right corporate structure for your goals.
- Identifying and protecting your Intellectual Property, including trade mark applications.
